I get visibly upset every time I see helium balloons now. There’s a helium shortage, people. Do you want a festive party or do you want to keep your MRI machines running?
I’d suggest hydrogen balloons as an alternative, but birthday candles + hydrogen encased in thin balloon film skin = mini Hindenburg time, so yeah.

We couldn’t get our 4 year old balloons for her birthday because the dollar store was out of helium. It was very sad. Mostly the shortage is caused by the US millitary hoarding it all.
